Good plan. I look forward to seeing the progress but I agree with 0081 in that your experience with MAP compared to MAF will probably skew the result.

I know MAFs can be far superior at very low air flow (and at idle) conditions, ADR compliance being so tough is why R&D teams are forced to use them to meet emissions specs, (same as O2 sensors and Canisters, none of those are for power, they are all for emissions control) but I've always beliv...

I'd like to see that article. I have a HSV 5.7 stroker and the MAF that come with it was the same as the 5 litre (and 3.8 I think).

Was the VR a CRS (Castlemaine Rod Shop) kit?
BWFU is a bog stock 165 kw memcal for VS series 2. The Statesman/Caprice doesn't have a different memcal to the rest of the Commodore range.

BWCS is a Police memcal for a VS V8.

I know all of that, I was simply saying the LS MAF will be able to provide airflow readings that a boosted engine will consume, the standard MAF will not read enough airflow for this boosted application, hence the upgrade. Then please consider the above post information for people who don't know. I...

The MAF goes before the s/c so it should never read "boost readings above atmospheric pressure". A MAF simply reads airflow, in other words it tells the PCM how much air is flowing into the engine. It does this by powering a reference wire in the MAF so that it heats up to a certain temper...

I see the force of hot rodding is strong with you

It actually looks good in there. I should do a snorkel out of it.

Is the inlet pipe before the s/c plastic drain pipe?
